Head Coach Kaelyn Cowan's Post-Meet Thoughts
"We came off a personal victory from Saturday where we had a program record score, and that is always tough to come off of. Then add in coming from a Saturday into a Tuesday, we really had a good meet with our third-highest point total of the season. I'm really proud of our team. Overall, we actually had a few errors today and we're going to get ready to fix those at practice.Â
Â
"Individually, we had two standouts in
Paige Simon and
Kay Greene. They always deliver. When there's been a little bit of low morale, especially having a full day then competing, they are great at consistently hitting what they're asked to hit and watch them grow in the last two years."Â
Â
